I am pleased to see so many youth take a interest in reading! Welcome to Goodreads!

[Ameena]

a LOT of ppl actually started reading cause of harry potter and twilight

i started reading R.L.Stine Fear Street and i STILL enjoy it!

then i moved on to Twilight
now i read read read all kinds of books

[Zakiya]

I think I started getting into reading in Kindergarten with the Magic Tree House series. Lol

Michelle: Thanks; I'm almost always on and I really love talking to all of you everyday.

Dino: Yes, please try to be active; enjoy the group! :)

I used to read fear street all of the time. I used to rent three from the library and then be back that night for more. I thought I was pretending to read but then I used to tell them what they were about an which books were better.

I don't read that fast anymore. I like to enjoy my books.

[Ameena]

i dont enjoy books if i read them in more than 2 weeks
2 weeks is my max to finish a book!

[Zakiya]

I like to finish a book in a fast pace, but not too fast where I don't know what I'm reading. If it takes me 3+ weeks to read a book, I'm disgusted because the book will. by then, be boring to a certain extent; at that point, I won't want to read the book as much as before.

[Zakiya]

Ha; shortest for me is sometime less than 20 hours. Longest time ever for me has been about a month and a half (unfortunately) for Little Women.

[Dino]

I read at a steady pace but take several breaks to rest my eyes and keep a watch on CNN alerts. I like to remember certain thoughts by the characters in the book.Uually read 2 or 3 books per week.

[Zakiya]

Wow, that's a lot of books. Lol; and yes, really (msg 219). I usually read 1-3 books a wekk, sometimes more if they're "short"---my belief of short of course is like 200-300 pages.

[Zakiya]

Those are just my definitions of short. My definitions of long are books like The Shapeshifters: The Kiesha'ra of the Den of Shadows, which contains 968 pages. That is the only book I have ever read that long though.

Welcome to the group everyone. I'm home safe from my camping trip. I am no longer sneaking on to see how everyone is doing. Ahh, but the 3 mile hike was nice and the relaxing time by the beach was great. I even got in a few chapters of The Host this weekend.

[Zakiya]

I'm glad you had a good time Elyssa! You didn't get caught sneaking onto Goodreads did you? Lol :)

[[deleted user]]

Only once, Missy laughed because I had 5 bars the whole time. We were supposed to be in the middle of no where. Nope, I was still connected to this world.

[Jen]

Ha, that sounds like me! When I'm out of the country I always try to make it to the internet cafe like once a day. That's not normal for Albanians unless you are single, male and a gamer.

[[deleted user]]

LOL! We are on the same page :)

[Ameena]

[Ameena]

[[deleted user]]

I know. Which isn't a bad thing. We used to have a place to chat and I'm looking for it. Still can't find it so I made a new place. Enjoy and then it doesn't matter what you talk about :)

I've never seen it, my mom has and she told me the ending.

[Queen Susan the Gentle]

I wish they could have had it end better than just letting her stand there and watch her love go off.

[Christa (is on top of the world!)]

I'm Christa.

[Andrez]

Hi Christa! Can you see all from the top of the world? *struggles to see top of world*
